The Strategy looks at other future planning necessities such as infrastructure and economic development over the coming generation (to 2048) in making recommendations for residential growth and development. The Strategy focuses on five key themes throughout the document: History Definition of Precincts Village Character Regional Links Opportunities for Renewal and/or Growth Adjungbilly, Muttama and Tumblong have been identified by this strategic planning process as rural communities. Rural communities are similar to villages in that they have low population thresholds, however they have no clear urban form. Not all of these communities have advocated for residential growth and only one has been identified as having potential in the medium to long term to transition to a village. Rural communities are often remnants of once larger villages (Tumblong) and towns (Muttama), which have declined for one reason or another. They retain a character which is distinct from the surrounding rural landscape. Rural communities are tight knit settlements and many residents have family connection to European settlement of the area; however there is capacity in these communities to accept new residents from outside the area who are looking for open space and an alternate lifestyle. Consideration of community identity is important particularly when considering a growth threshold for these communities and the amenity needs and works which could compliment this. This Strategy will propose short, medium and long term actions to support amenity improvements and development. Future reviews of this strategy will insure that recommendations continue to reflect the aspirations of the community. The overarching goal of creating the Strategy is not only to guide how and where residential development should occur in these three communities but also to serve to advertise these communities and the experience they have to offer to potential residents and visitors. The Strategy will be reviewed every five years in order to incorporate changes, reflect community trends and maintain relevance. This Strategy is the start of a discussion about the communities of Adjungbilly, Muttama and Tumblong and should be seen as the groundwork for future possible evolution in urban form to possibly be considered as a village. 4 Context Location Cootamundra-Gundagai Regional Council is located in the upper Riverina area, west of the Snowy Mountains. The three rural communities identified in this strategy are all located in the former Gundagai Shire Local Government Area. All are characterised by the regional roads which run through them and a waterbody which generally parallels the settlement pattern. Figure 1: Locations 5 Adjungbilly Environment Adjungbilly and surrounds are known to have been disturbed and utilised for agriculture for over 150 years. Remnant vegetation and animal communities remain today along with introduced species mainly through agriculture. There are 242 records of flora and fauna for the defined area. Appendix A of this document details all flora and fauna recorded for the Adjungbilly area. Of particular concern is the number of fauna species threatened due to habitat competition with introduced species and prey status of introduced species. History Two runs known as Adjungbilly were subject to pastoral licences in favour of George McDonald (40,000 acres to become known as Bongongo Station) and Daniel Murphy (2 square miles) in 1845. Largely an agricultural community, the rural community of Adjungbilly has no distinct urban form. A post office known as Tomooroma (also spelt Tomorroma) Post Office was opened in the area in 1896 and was renamed the Adjungbilly Post Office in 1899. This post office was closed in 1974. Bongongo Public School, which was named after the neighbouring Bongongo Station was established in 1886 and is the focal point of this community, with buildings and grounds serving as community facilities outside school hours and the school newsletter sharing local news. A memorial board in the school hall lists 13 men who served “For King and Country: Adjungbilly and Tomorroma” in the First World War, four of which were killed. In World War Two, 27 members of the Adjungbilly community served with 3 wounded in action. Thankfully none were killed. Adjungbilly was the name applied to the 97th Shire of New South Wales, Adjungbilly Shire Council. In 1905, New South Wales divided all remaining land outside of the City of Sydney, any municipality or within the Western Division, into “shires”. Land encompassed by Adjungbilly Shire Council is as described on the proclamation on the following two pages, which was printed in the Government Gazette of the State of New South Wales on Wednesday 7 March 1906. Shire chambers were originally located at 195 Sheridan Street, Gundagai. Significantly, Adjungbilly Shire Council lobbied the New South Wales Government to declare areas of Gundagai South as “urban”, essential flood free land for the growth of Gundagai town. Adjungbilly

  • Adjungbilly Creek Catchment - Save Our Species Project
    Photo: D Hunter Adjungbilly Creek Catchment - Save Our Species Project The Adjungbilly Creek is a unique catchment in the Riverina Local Land Services region due to it’s populations of a number of endangered plants and animals. The catchment is home to Macquarie Perch, the Booroolong Frog, White Box, Yellow Box, Blakelys Red Gum, Grassy Woodlands, Coolac-Tumut Serpentinite and Shrubby Woodland. Over the past five years, Riverina Local Land Services (LLS) has worked with Landcare, landholders and researchers to gain an understanding of the extent of the population of these endangered species as well as undertaking targeted works to assist their recovery. Through this ongoing project, we have improved habitat for endangered species and ecological communities through the protection and restoration of 233 hectares of the catchment by revegetating gullies to improve water quality, protected areas of native vegetation by installing 46 kilometres of fencing and re-established corridors of native vegetation by planting 30,000 native trees and shrubs. With additional funding from the NSW Government, a range of incentives is on offer to landholders to continue important works, which will support the recovery of these iconic species and communities. What assistance is available? • Protecting areas of riparian and terrestrial native Incentive Funding is being offered to Adjungbilly vegetation: through the provision of standard landholders to undertake targeted on-ground fencing materials, understorey plantings and restoration and conservation works to aid species alternative stock water recovery whilst improving their farm viability. • Re-establishing corridors of riparian and terrestrial native vegetation: through the The works have also supported landholders to improve provision of standard fencing materials, site their land management.
